Via WaPo, McConnell wavers on final passage of the bill:

"When we get to final passage, it's hard to know whether the votes will be there to pass it or not," McConnell said. "We'll finish Senate consideration of the immigration bill one way or the other."

"Finish Senate consideration" as in pass, fail, cloture, or the non-cloture breakdown we witnessed earlier this month? Does Sen. McConnell really think that the present bill will be unable to get majority support? Could this be an attempt by McConnell to convince skeptics of the bill to vote for cloture--implying that the bill might not pass anyway? Will skeptics believe him?
